Del Pino Jams Into Gancelo

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Omar del Pino
Omar del Pino

In a battle of Spanish players, a bet and call worth 6,500 was already pulled in prior to the {8-Spades}{6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{j-Spades}{3-Hearts} river. Omar Del Pino checked and Rafael Gancelo then bet 13,000 for half of his remaining stack. Del Pino took around 15 seconds to move all-in and Gancelo was put into the wringer.

He sigh-folded and Del Pino jumped to more than two times the starting stack.

Joubert Dodges Plenty of Outs to Take From Vrakas

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Dimitri Joubert
Dimitri Joubert

Georgios Vrakas checked a heads-up turn of {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{6-Spades}{2-Spades} and then called a bet worth 4,000 by Dimitri Joubert. Both players opted to check the {6-Diamonds} on the river and Vrakas turned over {k-Spades}{q-Spades}. Joubert had that beat with the {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs} and Vrakas banged the table briefly as he was rather upset, bemoaning to have missed the flush draw.

"You had a good hand," Joubert replied and added "I dodged a lot of outs".

Pavanic Gets Value From Goasdoue

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

With some 12,000 in the middle to the {9-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{3-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} river, Tomislav Pavanic bet 6,500. Alan Goasdoue was in the tank for a short while and eventually called. Pavanic revealed the {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} for treys over kings and that won a healthy pot.

Ivanov Still in the Mix After a Triple Up

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

After his earlier clash with Luc Bindel, Lyudmil Ivanov was all-in from the button and earned calls from Mounir Tajiou in the big blind as well as Danilo Velasevic from an early position.

Tajiou bet the tail end of the {10-Spades}{8-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} board and Velasevic raised to 4,500. Ivanov was already ready to leave and flashed his cards to Thomas Hueber before Tajiou called. Velasevic tabled the {q-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for trip eights, Tajiou had the {j-Spades}{10-Diamonds} and Ivanov survived with {q-Spades}{9-Spades} for a straight.

Earlier on, Tajiou had lost a portion of his stack already in a hand that he recalled with improving on every street holding {a-}{3-} only to see Klas Kruger just call with the superior full house on the river.

Khatri Off to a Decent Start

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Bhavin Khatri checked a heads-up river of {k-Spades}{2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades} and his opponent checked back. As the Brit didn't even show the cards yet, he won the pot uncontested as the opponent mucked the cards to forfeit the pot.

Khatri was then part of a four-way min-raised pot in which the {10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop was checked. He bet the {5-Clubs} turn for 800 and forced three folds.

Mendoza Jams Up His Stack

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Jeremias Mendoza
Jeremias Mendoza

Erez Hen check-raised a three-way turn of {7-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{q-Clubs} to 9,000 out of the blinds and was called by Jeremias Mendoza and Antonio Buonanno. The {9-Hearts} appeared on the river and Hen checked to Mendoza, who pushed all-in for 18,600.

Buonanno folded after a few seconds of consideration and Hen sigh-folded, mentioning to let go of a set.

"You folded a flush?" Mendoza asked Buonanno, who nodded and Hen didn't quite believe it.
